Cost-effectiveness and accuracy are two basic criteria for good maintenance. Reducing maintenance costs can increase net profit, while accurate maintenance actions can sustain continuous and reliable operation of equipment. As instruments and information systems tend to become cheaper and more reliable, condition-based maintenance has become an important tool for running a plant or a factory. This...
Aiming at the problems of traditional reliability data processing method in dealing with Zero-Failure binomial data, it has proposed a reliability assessment method which do not to make use of the few binomial data but the metric data. It could reduce the uncertainty in the reliability assessment and analysis. The arming reliability assessment of a certain fuse was taken for an example finally. The...
The research on supply chain management (SCM) has been for decades the focus of the academic communities and practitioners alike. SCM depends on implementing e-commerce (EC) as the key success factor. Distribution channel as the very end of the supply chain where customers buy market offerings including core products and supplementary services plays a crucial role in business excellence.

PMF series (a contiguous family of probability mass functions) is a new method for probabilistic assessment of availability and reliability of both repairable and non- repairable systems. The same general methodology is applied to both availability and reliability. This allows availability assessment of complex systems with both repairable and non- repairable subsystems. Binominal and Weibull can...
We present a practical, systematical method for the evaluation of the soft error rate (SER) of microelectronic devices. Existing methodologies, practices and tools are integrated in a common approach while highlighting the need for specific data or tools. The showcased method is particularly adapted for evaluating the SER of very complex microelectronic devices by engineers confronted to increasingly...
